Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Drdredredre!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Please be honest!

Today I saw a drawing you uploaded three months ago, File:080521-society-resistingl-vmed.jpg. You stated it was your own work, but it turns out that was not true at all (the drawing is from 1853, so it cannot be your own work). Please be honest when you upload a photo, drawing or other medium to Commons. We are all volunteers and it costs a lot of time to correct mistakes. JopkeB (talk) 12:52, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
This is also applicable to the other two uploads. --JopkeB (talk) 13:07, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Understandable and apologizes, I misunderstood the meaning of 'own work', you can delete them Drdredredre (talk) 04:35, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, apoligizes accepted. There is no need nor reason to delete the items (anymore), because the copyright is OK and they fit into the scope of Commons. It is just that we would very much appreciate it when you add the correct author and source (and date -the one of the depicted image, not of the upload-, a good description and proper categories), when you upload an image. --JopkeB (talk) 04:54, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
